I have an ongoing dental problem that has led to pain every day since September 22, and it is not likely to get better soon.
The entire bottom-left of my jaw hurts, and I cannot do radio until this improves, for obvious reasons.
I had something similar occur in 2013, and it took 2 weeks to heal from the time I had the procedure done. This procedure was done last Thursday, after 9 days of pain before that.
In 2013, this baffled dentists who looked at it, as my healing was described as "really fast" and "like a 16-year-old", but the pain was unusual and supposed to stop after about 36 hours. Instead it took 2 weeks to stop hurting.
I am not sure why it's like this, but until things get better, there won't be radio. There is zero point zero chance I could stand to talk for an extended period of time.
Apologies to those who have gotten used to the show every week. On the bright side, I have no vacations planned in the coming months, so I shouldn't miss any more shows for that reason.
